Satnam Galsian and Zawedde: Folk Reimagined
You are warmly invited to an evening of music and conversation curated by Leeds-based singer-songwriter Satnam Galsian.
The programme will begin with a performance by Zawedde, a singer-songwriter of Ugandan heritage. Satnam will then take to the stage to share a series of her own musical responses to traditional folk songs, exploring and reinterpreting their themes through a contemporary lens.
The first half will conclude with Sahiban — a bold, feminist reinterpretation of Mirza-Sahiban, a tragic love story from the Indian subcontinent. Developed during Satnam’s Opera North Resonance Residency 2024, this moving piece features Satnam alongside John Hogg on guitar and Simon Henry on drums.
Following the interval, Satnam will be joined by Zawedde for a post-show discussion, delving into her creative practice, the role of heritage and identity in her work, and her experience as a woman of colour in the music industry.
The evening will conclude with a Q&A session, giving the audience a chance to join the conversation.
